According to the British press, striker Bryan Mbeumo is increasingly depressed in the context that MU has not been able to close the agreement with Brentford about recruiting him, despite there were two offers made.
The Cameroon star really wanted to join Old Trafford and expressed that, but Brentford still maintained a position and required a price of over 63 million pounds, higher than the amount that MU spent to buy Mathius CunHa (£ 62.5 million) in early summer.
Brentford thinks that the price they offer is completely reasonable, can even be considered a “bargain” if compared to the current market. The view of “bees”, Chelsea's Noni Madueke, is currently priced more than £ 50 million despite unstable performance, while Newcastle has spent £ 55 million in Anthony Elanga from Nottingham.
Mbeumo is different. The 25 -year -old striker scored 20 goals in the Premier League last season, one of the best attacking players in addition to the “Big Six” group, and the fans of Man United and also satisfied with the salary that the Red Devils suggested.
Both the player and the host club began to feel “out of patience” when MU delayed the third proposal. Meanwhile, Brentford still opened the suggestions from other teams if MU continued to hesitate.
Overall, Brentford is currently holding the strength on the negotiating table with the Red Devils. This is because MBEumo's contract has an option to extend until the summer of 2027, and the Phil Giles sports director is famous as a tough negotiator.
Giles once stated that he did not exclude the possibility that Mbeumo would stay if no team meets the required price, although he will likely leave this summer.
In short, if MU really considers MBeumo as an important goal, they will have to act definitely – or accept a player who attacks the speed, technique and efficiency in other competitors.
